2013/3/21-5/18 [Computer/SW/Apps/Media, Computer/SW/WWW/Browsers] UID:54632 Activity:nil | 3/21 Browser Plug-In you must get: Ghostery. It gets rid of a bunch of
ad trackers on a web site, resulting in really fast load times.
For example, a typical media site will require 10-15 trackers
(you know, those URLs that track your activities so they can
target you better). Ghostery kills them.
\_ This has been working well for me, and breaks fewer things

old? I am investigating making a big SSD order. -ausman
\_ how much performance gain are you expecting from using SSD?
Let's say your 7200RPM yields 70 MB/sec (sustained) read and
your new SSD yields 160 MB/sec read, and that your application
is mostly streaming media (so the platter is continuous read,

actually crossed path 30yrs ago: http://www.csua.org/u/qwv
My question is how do stories like this find its way to news media? Do
people just go "hey something very interesting happens in our lives.
Let's call up a news agency or two to tell the world about it."?

nightmare of poor IO performance should hopefully be over. Prepare for
another long nightmare of poor hardware reliability!

Just kidding! (I hope)

2010/4/28-5/10 [Computer/SW/OS/Windows] UID:53807 Activity:nil | 4/28 Win 3.1 was more widely adopted than Win 3.0. Win XP (5.1) was more
widely adopted than Win 2k (5.0). Now it looks like Win 7 (6.1) is
going to be more widely adopted than Vista (6.0). Is this a trend on
Microsoft x.0 versions being bad?

forward but I think I'm not getting something.
I have a virtual server with some root, say /home/user/public_html/
and in there I have two subdirs, say /app1/ and /app2/
and i want the following:

2009/2/26-3/5 [Computer/SW/Unix] UID:52653 Activity:nil | 2/26 If I want to rsync a perforce or svn directory while users
are checking things in, could I wind up with a corrupted copy?
\_ sure why not. if you are really cool, your copy of the svn
repo is on LVM, and you snap the LVM to copy it.
\_ It'll seem less cool when you realize you've taken a snapshot
of a block level device, which only guarantees that this set of

2008/11/29-12/6 [Computer/SW/OS/FreeBSD, Computer/SW/OS/VM] UID:52129 Activity:moderate | 11/29 I'm experimenting with virtualization, and as a poor college student
I'm wondering what the best alternatives for virtualization are, and
how best to cut my teeth on messing with non-linux platforms (or I
guess interesting stuff on Linux would work too). Right now I've got
FreeBSD7 running on KVM on my home computer (on a Core 2 Quad), and am
somewhat at a loss as to how to use it. (More details: bridged

partition is bad. NTFS itself is pretty solid. How old is the
